Mitchell Harris Pyrenees Sangiovese 2010

This for mind is the perfect pizza wine. The Mitchell Harris Pyrenees Sangiovese 2010 contains all the elements of a Friday night footy wine with pizza - cherry ripe fruit without the ripeness, grainy chocolate and a hint of green vegetalness (yes, I made that word up)- a good thing I reckon, along with super chewy tannins which were, and are, perfect with a homemade prosciutto and mozzarella pizza. Cracking stuff Jonno!Drink with pizza.... der!Drink till 201595Screwcap 13%v/v http://www.mitchellharris.com.au/NB not sure on the $$; wine obtained when I won a round through the 'Mitchell Harris' footy tipping comp. And it was when I was in Vietnam!!

Who is this blogger then?

.... well you may ask.
sort of threw myself in to wine after a love affair in France (several vintages in the 90's) and came home and did something about it - a Bachelor of Science in Viticulture and Wine. I have worked also at Vue de monde and The Point Albert Park as a sommelier and spent many hours helping in the vineyard and winery at Bindi Wine Growers in the Macedon Ranges.
but enough about me...
this is a little blog about food and wine - food and wine in Melbourne.
here i will sort of delve into the stuff i love (and yes, I do love my family as well!!).
i will share with you my thoughts on all things food and wine - on all things i can get my hands on really.
but i guess the primary emphasis will be on wine; geez i love wine, and thats what i'm going to share; my love for the stuff that is often having my wife question what is more important...
